Tottenham vs Liverpool: Analysing both teams' market values
The two sides lock horns after an epic, intense tournament.
It has been a long time, since two English teams faced each other in a UCL final. The last time it happened, Manchester United beat Chelsea, 6-5, on penalties to win their most recent Champions League title.
Come 2nd June, it will be Tottenham Hotspur meeting Liverpool, in Madrid. The two teams have had journeys full of upheavals and roller coaster rides. Tottenham Hotspur, particularly, survived the elimination quite a few times, to get to their first ever Champions League final.
